That time again
They just keep flying on by people! November peeks its head above the parapet, meaning that December and Christmas are only around the corner. Another month has passed, and I've seen more gains across my hive, Leo and other layer 2 holdings such as #SportsTalkSocial #VerfiyYourBrian #Proof of brain to name a few. I continue to post, interact and grow and for anyone new here, keep on reading.
For any newbies reading this post, the beauty of Hive is, you don't have to invest any hard earned Fiat, although I would advise that you do invest some FIAT, to accelerate your progress!!
At times I wish that I had in those early days, as it has been a long journey for me, but my account has grown up from 100% organic growth from nothing other than around 10 or 15 delegated HP to get me going. But hey, I don't have a time machine, so I am where I am, and happy to be growing.
I've never taken out anything to date either, nor do I intend to any time soon. I want my stack to continue to grow and the bigger the stack, the quicker the growth in my opinion. I am actually seeing that first hand at the moment, and it's a fact that the more you grow, the quicker you grow.
Last PUD month comparison
Each month, that I do a HPUD, I like to take stock and have a look over my shoulder back into the rearview mirror to see where I've come from, so let's do that right now.
I was on 7012 hive power on October 1st. Today, I'm at 7,478 hive power one month later which is a gain of 6.6% which I'm delighted with! That is up on last month's 5.8%. This is what I am trying to explain as best I can - now is a brilliant time to grow. Bear markets are a great time to grow if you are brave and you believe. I had an aim to see how many months in 2022 I could achieve 10% growth or more. I managed it for most months, but as I grow it gets harder to sustain, and I could not have done much more these past two months, as I posted every day in September and October and spent lots of time engaging and growing #threetunetuesday to what it is today, with twenty or thirty people posting to it most weeks, which is amazing.
So I am now going to adjust my target for the rest of the year and be realistic, I will target 5% or more for each remaining month in 2022 and see where that leaves me in terms of my overall goal to reach 10,000 Hive Power this year.
My reputation also continues to grow as well and I am now up to 71.11. That is an increase of 0.25, which is a great accomplishment given that it gets harder and harder to grow this number the higher it gets. Again I outperformed my previous month which is fantastic.
You are an early adopter
Yep, I'm back with this old chestnut again. You were waiting for it weren't you? Every month for Hive Power Up Day, I mention it.
Brace yourselves - here it comes again - remind yourself that you are an early adopter in a transformative potentially game changing industry. Blockchain is going to be huge. You are here before the masses. You are a visionary. It is only a matter of time before many more look to follow in your footsteps. Imagine investing in internet stocks in the early days, the likes of Google, Amazon or Facebook.
How many of your friends and family know what you are talking about when you mention Crypto, blockchain, leverage, dao, hive etc, I'm guessing not many, sure some might have heard of Cryptocurrency, but are they using it daily like we do here while building a holding?
Take advantage of your early adopter status. Up your game. Post only quality content. Engage with others on the eco system and watch as you flourish.
As time passes, you will start hearing more friends, families and randomers talking about Crypto currencies, asking questions about blockchain and taking their first tentative steps into the investment waters? I think more and more people will get involved in the coming years, especially the younger demographic who are already tech savvy and tuned into transformative digital technologies and integration.
Those of us with surplus time and surplus money have a real opportunity at the moment to turn that surplus into profit.
Power Up Day November 2022
I am proud to say that this is my seventeenth PUD. It's a good way of showcasing the importance of powering up and staking what you have in the Crypto space in order to put your earnings to work and compound with even more earnings.
Another bonus for me is that it gives me a timestamp that I can easily refer back to in order to track my growth here on the platform.
I am posting this on the 3rd however, as I had my Three Tunes Tuesday post and results on Tuesday and Wednesday as usual, so I had to wait until Thursday 3rd to post, as I like to only post once per day in order to leave rewards for everyone else.
These were the criteria for Hive PUD:
• Your reputation must be above 39 and below 70.
I am now 71.1 so don't qualify for main prizes
• Your total Hive Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000.
My total hive power before 1st was 7012 HP
• You must power up at least 10 Hive on December 1st.
I have just powered up 208.85 Hive bringing up to 7478 Hive Power overall
• You must write a post about your power up on December 1st with the tag #HivePUD (International) or #HPUD (Spanish).
